CHURN.

Application led April 3,

To @ZZ whom. t may concern:

Be it known that I, ARNOLD HEITINK, J r., a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Oskaloosa, in the county of Mahaska, State of Iowa, have invented a certain new `and usefu-l Churn, of which the following My object is to provide a churn of this character of simple, durable and inexpensive construction and of few parts so arranged that they may be readily, easily and quickly assembled for use or taken apart for cleaning or storing; and

A further object is to provide a churn of this character in which, during its operation, no cream will be thrown out of t-he churn or in contact with the screw cap olf the churn, so that the operation of the churn can be easily and conveniently carried on upon the kitchen table or the like, and after the churning opera-tion has been completed, the parts may be taken apart and cleaned with a minimum of work.

My invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claim, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows a side elevation of my improved ohurn assembled ready for use.

Figure 2 shows a vertical, central, sectional view through the upper portion of the churn body to illustrate the operative parts; and

Figure 3 shows a` top or plan view of the bowl shaped antisplasher device.

Referring t-o the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference numeral 10 to indicate the churn body which is preferably made o-f glass, and the interior is rounded and without corners. It is formed with a base 11 preferably integral with the glass body and with a large opening at its top screw threaded on the exterior.

Mounted upon the top of the base is a screw cap 12 having its central portion provided with a bearing 13.

The reference numeral 14 indicates a gear 1923. Serial No. 629,620.

case preferably made of cast metal closed at its top and sides and open at its under side, and containing a vertical shaft 15 mounted in a bearing 16 and provided at its upper end with a beveled pinion 17. The lower end of this shaft is formed hollow and a set screw 18 is mounted therein.

Hthin the gear case 111 is rotatably mounted a crank shaft 19 in the bearings 2() and 21, and on this shaft is a beveled pinion 22 in mesh with the beveled pinion 17. This gear case is supported upon the screw cap 12 by means of legs 23, which legs are pref erably formed integral with the gear case and both contained in the screw cap. By this means considerable separation is provided between the screw cap and the gear case so the operator may readily have access to the set screw 18.

The reference numeral 241 indicates a dasher which is preferably formed of a single piece of wood with one blade extended upwardly and the other blade extended downwardly and both blades provided with perforations. This dasher is mounted upon a shaft 25 which extends through a part of the dasher and held firmly to the dasher by means of nuts 26, or in any suitable way.

The reference numeral 27 indicates an anti-splasher device preferably of substantially hemispherical shape and made of glass. It is provided at its central portion with an opening 2S, and around its upper edge with an outwardly extended flange 29. This flange is of such size and shape that it may be readily inserted in the bottom of the screw cap and made to rest upon the top of the neck of the churn body, and between the Iiange 29 and the top of the body I prei erably provide a rubber gasket 30. The opening 28 is of such size that the shaft is free to pass through it and turn around within said opening without touching any part of the glass anti-splasher device.

In practical use the cream is first placed within the churn body and then the dasher and its shaft is placed in the cream. Then the gasket 30 and the anti-splasher device are placed in position with the shaft projected through the opening 28. Then the screw cap is firmly screwed to the top of the body to form a tight joint, thus clamping the anti-splasher device firmly in position and centering it so that its opening 28 will be centered relative to the shaft 25.
